Whilst we are yet to decorate the exterior of our house, Christmas has otherwise arrived in the form of a Christmas tree and various decorations here, there, and everywhere around the house.
If I’m honest I’m not really feeling all that festive this year, thankfully the kids were happy to decorate the tree as I was way too emotional to even attempt stringing the lights never mind hanging baubles or getting OCD-style fussy over the general symmetry of the decor as I usually would.
The kids have done an amazing job transforming the living room into a twinkly, festive haven, I just need to get a few mince pies down my hatch (once I can be bothered to make some) and get into the spirit of things.
Once over, Christmas was a time for celebration, gatherings, parties, and general cheer but now it feels like an emotional rollercoaster with some vile inversions (and mega g-force) that I’m riding at full pelt whilst attempting to keep everyone else safe, happy, laughing whilst I struggle to maintain the false smile that’s plastered across my mush. Ho ho, flipping no!
Speaking of getting into the festive spirit, I’ve got a bottle of mulled wine with my name on it and a hot tub on ‘heat’ ready and waiting for me to hop into so I’ll do just that. Have a good one folks.
Thanks for reading my #MySundaySnapshot post, I look forward to catching up and sharing your #MySundaySnapshot pictures either through your own posts, social media shares or comments upon this post.

Sorry to hear this is a difficult time for you. I hope things improve for you soon.
We don’t have our tree up yet, it still feels too early to me. My daughter thinks I’m a Scrooge!
Christmas is always one of those times which can be happy or sad. We have always tried to make ours happy though I never feel I can start Christmas till after my wife birthday which is in December as well. This year its a little muted as we have to go to a funeral of her mother. Once that is out of the way I feel things will be a little better.
It’s tough but you have the right idea, mulled wine and lush baths, time for yourself to unwind and let it pass. You may find you’ll even enjoy yourself. I have my little rituals that help me get through and I always go and visit my family plot on Christmas Eve, even though it’s difficult for me (cemeteries are not wheelchair friendly) but we go to the crib service too which is fun and peaceful. Then I feel I can allow myself to have fun. xx
Your tree looks so pretty.
Sending love and hugs to you. It sounds like things are hard for you at the moment. I hope things improve soon. x
